Elite awards will be separate and there will be a $250 bonus for a new course record. Men’s Course Record- 3:55.5, Matt Dorsey in 2017; Women’s Course Record- 4:38.2, Julia Kohnen in 2017.

Untimed Kids’ Quarter Mile Dash

The Kids’ quarter mile dash, a fan favorite, continues on! The race will begin near the intersection of Winona and Macklind. All finishers will receive a ribbon. We have youth shirt sizes to accommodate all of our younger participants. Note: All youth sizes, including 3T, will be cotton and not tech material. Kids 1/4 Mile will be split into 3 waves for the safety of the younger ones. Waves will be divided 1-3 year olds, 4-5 year olds, and 6-10 year olds; each wave will depart about 2 minutes after the prior one.
